So sorry to all of you to hear of your loss. Your mom was an amazing lady and will never be forgotten. My fondest memory of her is the day after my son Allen was born. She knew how much I loved her rice pudding (Tony used to bring it for me when we went for coffee all the time) so on my breakfast tray at the hospital for me that morning was a huge bowl of her rice pudding – just for me. I will never forget how happy that made me feel! Cuddling the baby and the smile on her face tells me that made her just as happy!
For her, I am glad that she is in an easier place – the Alzheimer journey is such a hard journey both for the person going through it and the people watching them.
Big hugs to all
Helen (nee Graham) Gilbertson

Good memories of growing up with our mothers and cousins in whitemouth. How the two sisters would call each other everyday. They would always buy the same things if they were out shopping. They are together again looking down on us. My condolences to my great cousins. Love you always
